But Bush could not order the governor..it was HER call. Truth be known, Bush saved a lot of lives down there. Now if he had the abosolute power the libs THINK (but do not want) he has...those buses would not be sitting inwater right now...But had he gone in against the governors wishes, he would be called a tyrant..control freak...dangerous...hitler...fill in the blank...

Hmm..Jesse Jackson's reasoning for not using the buses was there was no where to take the people...hmm...cat 5 hurricane...wandering the highways...you choose...

The fact that today people are being helped, that people are being airlifted out, that control is being exerted is proof that the federal level did not fail. It was just that period of time before the federal level could get assembled and on the scene.

Sounds to me like feds were ready to go BEFORE the governor acted...it was waiting on her, not waiting to be assembled...is any wonder the dems don't want to take part in any investigation? Tuff to cover all the BS...then to have the nerve to make our president look like an idiot...grrrrr....just hoping Americans are looking at the FACTS, not what they are being spoon-fed

Mayor Nagin was saying on a tv interview as Cat-5 Katrina was nearing N.O. that his attorneys (city) recommended he NOT call for a mandatory evac due to potential 'liability' issues.

Afterward, the Mayor has been saying he couldn't get any responsive, decision-maker at the govern's office to act/respond/help.

Texas officials say they could not get any responsive, decision-maker at the govern's office for their offers of assistance.

Michigan (IIRC) officials wanting to offer NG support, say they could not get any responsive, decision-maker at the govern's office.

More and more it is seeming that the 'problem' was with the governor's office. FEDs needed the governor's OK because the governor is the state executive. Locals needed the governor's OK because much of the assistance has to come/be initiated by the state executive.

Do you happen to have a source for this information? I am working on a time-line and need verifiable links. Thanks

I don't, off hand. It started during the Live Thread that Monday as Katrina approached.

You might do an FR search on 'timeline'. There were several timeline threads that might have the info you need.

[FR severely lacks the capability to go back and find information.]
